"We were contacted by a soldier in Afghanistan who mentioned that his unit's living conditions were sparse, and asked if we could help out with some amenities," said Stephen Mannix, vice president of KETTLER USA. "We wanted to support our troops with a token of our appreciation for all that they do. AIT has been very instrumental in making this happen."
The package is currently en route to Afghanistan and should arrive within a few weeks. The parcel sent to the soldiers contained the Top Star XL, one of KETTLER's most popular outdoor table tennis tables, as well as some racquets and several table tennis balls.
